Local legends Tom Walder & Stefan Steiglair have been seen out everyday the last weeks testing and tweaking their wings for the coming season.
...
UPs' constructor and test pilot, Stefan, has been working hard on two new projects.
The Trango II (DHV2-3), the main visible difference is a reworked brake fan which shortens the trailing edge as well as pulling it down.Stef says the new Trango is a definite improvement but still needs a lot of work done on it.He's also working on the new PWC open class weapon the Targa II.
...
Looks very similar and local lad Stefan Steiglair wasn't giving too much away.
...
Sticking with news about Stefan Steiglair, being a busy man with designing, constructing and testing you see him on launch on only the BIGGEST days.And on the 3rd May he flew a huge 220km FAI triangle using his new baby the T3, taking just over 9hrs.
...
So many big names there felt like a round of the PWC, Walder, Steiglair, Schalber, Frauenshuh, Eder, Untermoser to name just a few.
...
Our A-team will have of course Stefan Steiglair(ex-World Champ) and Tom Walder, who most of you would have met when you've been here.
